ALERT – In what appears to be an idiotic attempt to supposedly kill Joe Biden, a 19-year-old man repeatedly rammed a U-Haul truck into the barriers around the White House at Lafayette Park on Monday night.
To be clear, these barriers (or bollards) are designed to stop large vehicles and are a substantial distance from the White House perimeter fence.
There was no mention of explosives or other dangerous materials aboard the truck. Had there been this would be an entirely different story. (RELATED: Man Charged With Threatening To Kill President After Ramming White House Security Barrier)
Still, the incident prompted the evacuation of The Hay-Adams Hotel on the 800 block of 16th Street.
The driver, Sai Varshith Kandula of Chesterfield, Missouri has reportedly been arrested and charged with multiple crimes, including threatening to kill, kidnap or inflict harm on the president, vice president or family member.
He was also charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and reckless operation of a motor vehicle.
A man who said he was walking home from his run on the mall videotaped a driver in a U-Haul truck repeatedly ram the barricade at Lafayette Park near the White House.
“I decided it was time to get the hell out of there,” he said.
See the video below.
According to a United States Park Police statement, the driver “intentionally crashed into the bollards on the outside of Lafayette Park.”
Ya, that looks about right.
The Secret Service spokesman also tweeted:
Shortly before 10:00 p.m. Monday, Secret Service Uniformed Division officers detained the driver of a box truck after the vehicle collided with security barriers on the north side of Lafayette Square on 16th Street. There were no injuries to any Secret Service or White House personnel and the cause and manner of the crash remain under investigation.
It seems to me that the cause and manner of the crash are pretty obvious – the guy kept trying to ram through the barricades.
In a follow-up tweet, the spokesman said: “Charges will be filed by the United States Park Police with investigative support from the #SecretService.”
In the photo below the truck can be seen more clearly after the driver was secured and removed. The bollards can also be more clearly seen.
Meanwhile, is that a swastika flag on the pavement at the police officer's feet?
The location of the crash is noteworthy since it lies at the south end of 16th St., which is now known as Black Lives Matter (BLM) square. Fox 5 reported:
Had the barriers been breached, two fences providing additional layers of security would have been in-between the driver and the White House. Lafayette Square has long been one of the nation's most prominent venues for demonstration near the Executive Mansion. The park was closed for nearly a year after federal authorities fenced off the area at the height of nationwide protests over policing following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, but it reopened in May 2021.
What the news outlet doesn't say is that during those violent BLM riots at Lafayette Park in 2020 numerous officers were injured, cars and property burned and the thin blue line of police at the park between the rioters and the White House fence was almost overrun.
During the height of the rioting on May 31st, President Trump was also briefly rushed to the underground bunker by the Secret Service.
These barriers are designed to stop vehicles, not mobs of angry rioters.

The biggest question is how the driver could afford to buy the petrol to drive the truck to the White House ? Follow the money.
This guy was trying to get to Biden? Just goes to show that idiots have a strange ability to seek their own kind out.
Biden is at the G7 isn’t he?
Biden voter & Hollywood stunt actor
Why didn’t the police shoot him to death, like they did Ashley Babbitt and that other lady that had her baby in the backseat of her car? It was legal to shoot the woman?
It’s getting really bad when a 19 year old is trying to get to Biden. I don’t believe the thing about the nazi flag. DC cops are corrupt. Just like the DOJ and FBI. The planted fault evidence. They lie ! Wray and Garland are the most corrupt people in the justice system. I thought Hoover was corrupt. These two out do Hoover every day.
Attempting to kill Biden? What was he going to do with that truck? Drive it up to Biden’s desk and run him over? Article never mentioned guns, knives, explosives, or any other implement to be used in this ‘murder’ intent. Attempt at murder is a far fetched charge just as the Jan 6 charges are dispensed. You have a mentally ill individual and he should be charged and penalized for vandalism and private property destruction. Adding ‘attempted murder’ charges is a typical ‘Get him obliterated for making an anti-Democrat statement’ practice.
